At the time of registration for new students, a parent or guardian must be present and provide proof of address and the enrollee\u2019s official birth certificate, Social Security number, and physical exam report. Virginia requires a physical examination that includes a tuberculin skin test for all students new to Virginia. For kindergartners, the exam must have taken place within the past 12 months. Required vaccinations include DPT, polio (oral vaccine), measles, Rubella, and mumps. For details or answers to specific questions, contact:<\/p>\n

NORTH CAROLINA<\/strong>
\nStudents must be at least five years old on or before October 16 of the enrollment year to register for kindergarten and at least six years old on or before the same date for first-grade registration. Several documents will be necessary for registration, including proof of residency, the child’s certified birth certificate and social security number, and a health assessment. The latter must be signed by a physician and include a physical exam, vision screening, and hearing screening.<\/p>\n

North Carolina law also requires immunizations in the proper doses and intervals for DTP, polio, measles, mumps, Rubella, Hepatitis B, and Hib for children born after October 1, 1988. The certification of immunization must include the name, birthdate, and sex of the child as well as name and contact information for the parent or guardian.

The Virginia Standards of Learning or SOL describes the Commonwealth's expectations for student learning and achievement in grades K-12. Subjects included are English, mathematics, science, history\/social science, technology, the fine arts, foreign language, health and physical education, and driver education. The Virginia Substitute Evaluation Program is available for students with disabilities that do not translate well into the SOL testing environment.<\/pre>\n
The National Assessment of Educational Progress  or NAEP testing offers a comparison of the achievement level of Virginia  students to that of other students across the nation. Frequently referred to as  the “nation’s report card,” NAEP has been an operational assessment  since 1969. Historically, Virginia\u2019s NAEP average scale scores in reading and  mathematics tend to be higher than or equal to national public school average  scores.
